I loved it! This was such an adorable game. I loved the ending when the lights turned on!

I was so scared the main character was going to die of hypothermia haha.

It was also funny to see the little ball character completely covered in different blankets and hats and earmuffs.

Great submission!

Really cute game. Great story telling :D. Seeing all the towels all over the floor when the power came back on made me want to bang my head against the wall (not in a bad way, I believe the word for it is “awe”). Well done.

Developer

Thank you!

I could not figure out how to stop freezing (even with the blanket)

Thanks for playing -- perhaps it wasn't obvious: she overreacted and put too many blankets on, so she started to overheat, but she got confused and thought she was actually freezing to death. So at first she's too cold, then she gets too hot, there's no way to stop it (it's just a comedy story). She will always need to take some type of break (to fit the overworked wildcard).

Haha I loved getting all rugged up and freezing to death whilst also getting really hot, awesome job 

Developer(+1)

Thank you :)

Maybe it wasn't obvious, she was cold at first, and then she put too many blankets on, and she started to get too hot, but she overreacted and thought she was freezing to death, so she put more on instead of taking them off.

Thank you for playing.

The intro really got me cracking and I thought the story was gonna turn really dark at the middle there.

Also joining the discord is not required.

:o I'm glad it didn't! She was just overreacting ;)

Thanks for the info and thank you for playing :)
